I wonder how many highly paid marketing executives it took to come up with that name.
- A 16 year old with a RGB-as-fuck PC could probably do that
  
  "* I'm the god of hyper death!* "
- I'm trying to figure out how to pronounce Miui
  
  Me UI?
  
  From Spanish people I've heard it as "mee wee", so that's now my preferred pronunciation.
- I swear i've seen custom Android Roms with names similar back in the day lol
Lol typical corporation rebranding & probably with cosmetic change only.
- i bet there are a few new chinese gov backdoors in it too...
- Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.
  
  I don't think they stopped complaining so much as they still called them comcast in their complaints.
Probably need even more tightly knit ads in the OS.
I hope It will still have easy openable bootloader, so I could sideload whatever rom I want.
- i hope that miui eu devs will also jump to hyperos.
  miui eu is so so much better than bloated global roms... and this is my go-to custom rom everytime i replace my Xiaomi smartphone.
  
  Does it support the hardware 100%, including camera features and AI?
I just got my bran new Xiaomi 13T Pro 12/512 today. Man MIUI sucks, I was so looking forward for this phone, because the hardware is very cool IMO.
But between the crapware you can't uninstall, and generally bad software decisions, they manage to create an absolute horror show of an experience.
How the f... did they think this crap was a good idea? I'm seriously planning to return it.
My 3 year old Moto G9 Power that cost only 1/3 of what this shit show cost, had a better user experience!!!
I have absolutely confidence "HyperOS" will be shit too. This is a serious software management problem, that will 99.9% sure carry over.
- Hey, at least you can flash LineageOS on it still.
- You can uninstall bloatware with this PC tool (root IS NOT required)
  
  Do you know, does this "universal" method work for AndroidTV, e.g. Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K, too?
Hyper, hyper!
Just what phones need, an IoT OS. Those are renown for quality and security. /s
The only downside in chinies product is that they've the ability to copy & mass produce. But they don't have a plan to compete & sustainability for long-term users.
After renaming the UI, now it's the time to target new customers & try to build a loyalty with them.
